Our Nigerian Dwarf Goat Herd: Ronald
It was time to add a new sire to our herd and we found the friendliest guy. He is officially the first goat purchased by my daughter to work on her dairy goat projects.

Bunny and Tam are a pretty good duo, so we opted to retain one of their bucks. He’s a cute, little guy we call Milo.

Moon is one of the newest additions to our herd. She’s fitting in well and is very mild mannered. Her only flaw, as far as I can tell so far, is her constant need to want to escape every time I open and close the gate.
